Answer 1

You can just type hb.hex() and it should work

Answer 2

never worked with this module but this should do the job:

hexdecimal = "".join(["{:02X}".format(b) for b in hb])

Answer 3

.hex() does not work anymore with hexbytes >= 1.0

It reverts to parent class behaviour.

Now you should use the method .to_0x_hex().

I just debugged this on a new build of our software which pulls in a library that pulls in hexbytes. The latest version of the library we use has actually fixed the requirement for hexbytes to be <0.4 (latest before 1.0 is 0.3.1) i assume because of this. Unfortunately we do not use that yet :)
